E. Sue Huff & Associates, Inc. Adds New Division for Marketing and Management Clients

(November 23, 2008 – Naples, Florida) E. Sue Huff & Associates, Inc., a marketing and management consulting firm located in Naples, Florida, announces the formation of their new ESH a’la carte division. This newly formed division will focus on offering a variety of services for clients with short-term marketing, management or training needs.
Recognizing the ever-changing marketplace that exists in Southwest Florida, E. Sue Huff & Associates has formed this division to better serve the needs of small to mid-sized businesses. ESH a’ la carte services will include writing and distributing press releases and feature articles to local, regional and national sources; overseeing graphic design and printing projects; coordinating direct mail campaigns; planning and managing special events; and assisting with the creation of personalized marketing plans.
“I realize there are many small businesses in the area that may not want to commit to a long-term marketing relationship with our firm but need our expertise for a variety of ongoing or short-term projects. The creation of this new division is one way in which we can assist business owners and managers who only have the resources to commit to one project at a time,” says Sue Huff, owner of E. Sue Huff & Associates Marketing and Management Consulting, Inc.
Huff has an extensive business background in management, offset printing, newspapers, advertising and the visual arts. All of these combined assets led to the development of her consulting firm in 1996. The firm helps small to mid-size businesses develop, administer and plan their marketing strategies, as well as, provide “gap management” services for those companies who find themselves with too few senior managers.
The new division will be headed up by Karole Davis, a long-term associate of E. Sue Huff & Associates. Davis has been assisting the firm’s clients since 2002 with press releases, plans and special projects. She has her MBA from Nova Southeastern and manages the firm’s projects in Huff’s absence.
“I am excited to be part of the ESH team and enjoy the interaction that I currently have with our clients. I am really looking forward to helping this division grow, and increasing client involvement,” says Davis.
The firm’s clients vary from computer software developers, aviation repair stations, banks, inns, real estate, transportation, medical and accounting practices to educational, governmental and non-profit organizations.
Before relocating to Naples in 1994, Huff’s focus was mainly in the printing and graphics industry. Her background includes newspaper sales and production, ownership in a chain of print shops, and Senior Manager for the City of Cincinnati’s Department of Printing Services. While with the City of Cincinnati, Huff developed, hosted and produced an award-winning public relations television program for the City of Cincinnati. She also developed and taught several training programs, including “Time Bandits,” a time management course; “Basics for front line supervisors;” and created interactive role playing exercises for managers to deal with employee issues.
Huff’s speaking engagements in Southwest Florida include the University of Florida and FGCU FastTrac™ entrepreneurial program, Florida Gulf Coast University Small Business Development Center, Women’s Network of Collier County, the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, and many other local organizations. Her out-of-state seminars and talks have included events such as her annual Kingsport Office of Small Business Enterprise seminar in Kingsport, Tennessee.
Huff attended broadcast school and her background in theatre, TV and radio has led her to currently host a weekly community service radio show for 89.5 Praise FM in Naples, Florida. She also volunteers as a Friday afternoon drive-time, on-air side-kick at the station. She is the volunteer artistic director of First Assembly Ministries Naples TV ministry as well as volunteer for many other non-profit organizations in the area.
